Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review It's inspired a hit musical. The soundtrack has sold in its millions. And it's still, arguably, the most popular film on Patrick Swayze's curriculum vitae. Most worrying of all, perhaps, is that IDirty Dancing/I is now more than twenty years old. Now Ithat's/I scary.PStill, it does offer the excuse for a special anniversary release, and that's exactly what we have here. And, to be fair, the film has never looked better. The story is still as straightforward and simple as it always was, baked just to the point where it can support the aforementioned Swayze and Jennifer Grey strutting their stuff. But IDirty Dancing/I nonetheless continues to work well to this day, with its rarely-rivalled, sizzling mix of romance, energy and music.POf course, it's an easy film to pick holes in, should you be inclined to do so. After all, at heart it's a well packaged piece of hokum, that's never likely to contend in a Top 100 movies poll. But to pick holes would be churlish, and perhaps to miss the point. Because IDirty Dancing/I's mantra is to entertain, and it delivers on that promise with some conviction. The late Emile Ardolino wisely keeps his direction zippy, and the two leads really do look like they're having the time of their life.PGranted, this latest re-release isn't going to convert sceptics to the ways of IDirty Dancing/I, and the unfortunate, unwelcome sequel will remain a blot on its copybook. But this original is hard to beat, and it's still a hard dish to resist. --IJon Foster/I

DATTA (Stockton on Tees, Teesside) 10 out of 11 found this review helpful Dirty Dancing [1987] is a movie which I really enjoyed watching. What really appeals to me about the movie, its nice and simple storyline. The focal point is the bonding between a sexy dance instructor Johnny (Patrick Swayze) and a rich girl Baby who volunteers to cover as a dancing partner based in a holiday resort. The close friendship suffers major setbacks. Does the movie reach a happy ending? All will be revealed in the movie. br / br /The soundtracks accompanying the movie are excellent which include She like the wind, Hungry Eyes and not forgetting Time of your life. The movie is a simply a feel good movie, which really lightens your mood. It maybe a little outdated, but the musical legacy it leaves behind has been carried on. Since the movie celebrates its 20th anniversary, a special edition of the movie should be released this year. br / br /Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and a great collector item in my DVD set. If you appreciate a movie with a good storyline and makes you feel great, then Dirty Dancing will appeal to you. This is the special quality which I admire about any movie. So I will conclude this review with saying "Have the time of your life". This literally means enjoy the movie and feel good, which I certainly did.

It is a great feel good movie that I could watch over and over again. Patrick Swayze is gorgeous in it and Jennifer Grey plays a great "baby". The dancing and music in it are also great. Yes, its cheesy and slushy and pretty predicable but I still love it!! Fantastic film!!! November 10, 2006 J.
